题目内容
6.For ten weeks,in a great house on the island of St.Thomas,Dr.John C Lily tried to teach a six-year-old dolphin to speak English.Margaret,an experiment(实验)helper,would likeday and night with Peter,a dolphin.And they would eat,bathe,sleep and play together from Sunday to Friday,with only Saturday off for Margaret.She lived her life
with swimming clothes-with a coat on colder evenings,and cut her hair short so that she could get on with peter easily.
After a few days,Peter was becoming more and more interested in winning her attentions.He drew a ball against her shower towel to get her to play.As a time went by,he only wanted to play ball with her and not on his own.
The problem was that,just at the time peter and Margaret began to get on well just as two best friends,the experiment ended and the lab was closed.After a fewweeks,Margaret received the sad news that peter had killed himself by refusing to breathe,and sinking to the bottom of his pool.
